Calm down Bob - It's not a criticism of Lincoln! My point (quite obviously) was that it's not a like for like example. Taking a manager from 2 divisions lower is a lot different from taking one who just finished 3rd in the same division.


We all knew what you meant. You'll need large, brightly coloured lettered blocks to explain it to towncryer.

You'd probably be better off explaining it to his mum.  Then she'll have all night to explain it to him in bed  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Or look at Bignoit as proof it doesn't?

McMenemy had been sacked by Doncaster.

Dave Booth appointed from within as was Woods and Rodger

There is NO right or wrong as to their background.

The only way to improve your chances of getting it right is to do thorough research and even then I bet the success rate wont be above 25%


That’s right. Do the research, preferably better than was done for Newell or for Lyons. But even if you do ask the right questions and get the right answers that is no guarantee. Appointing from below seems like a good idea but as we found out, it is still a gamble.

What the hell difference does that make. We had been down the likes of your Phil Brown appointment merry go round. Fortunately our chairman/board identified an up and coming manager and took a punt on him and don't forget we just didn't get Danny we got Nicky aswell and that also makes a big difference. Fenty being a dinosaur will go for a dinosaur and the merry go round will continue.


Hello Steve O'Dare, how are you doing?

i think the board will this time go for experience over taking a punt, 1.  which is a pity as i believe that a team of young and ambitious players, managed by a young and ambitious manager is the way forward. Bignot was the right idea but it will probably be his shenanigans that put off the board from going for another of his type.

2. I've said before that GTFC are stuck between two stools.


1. The only problem with that scenario is that you need a young and ambitious board to support them, our board is not young and i think its fair to say they aren't that ambitious either seeing as they have publicly stated on numerous occassions they are fed up and want out !!

2. JF and Marley ?

On balance, id prefer not to have someone with no coaching qualifications who's managerial experience is all at a level lower than the conference. In fact, I'd go as far as to say it would be insane, given the situation we are in as an EFL club. We're not in the conference any more. Let's have some ambition and vision.
A coaching qualification is a pre requisite for me.
